Please Post Pics of A Mallory Unilite Distributor Installed.
As I was reading the Aircooled Mallory Unilite Distributor installation instructions I noticed that it said when the dizzy is installed that the SVDA should be in the 7 0' clock position. Unless I'm really confused as where 7 '0 clock is... this isn't possible because the cooling tin is in the way.

So, I believe a picture or two could help clear my brain.
Thanks, Gary

This looks like the right dist.

I should have been more clear on my pic request.
I need a picture of a Mallory dizzy installed in a 914 Type-IV engine so that I can eyeball the dizzy rotation - view looking down.
thanks, Gary

Contact Scott Novak here on the STF he is well versed in mallory dist.

Hi Gary
You will have to clearance the tin, no. 1 on the cap is usually by the oil filler- vent, no. 4 is by the tin, and when you rotate the dist no. 4 hits the tin.
I have a Pertronix which I think requires a little more clearance than the Mallory, what I did was removed the dist, plug the hole so nothing goes in, I used a pice of pipe and a hammer and recessed indented the tin so the dist could rotate. I believe I also tried re-indexing the drive pinion both ways but found the same issue.
There may be other ways to do this, but this worked for me, others may have a better idea.

Thx,
I did re-form the tin and so clearance is no longer the issue.
What I could use is a picture of a mallory w/vacuum advance installed in a Type IV 914
Thanks, Gary
